Does anyone know why Class 710/3s are being used on the Watford DC Line? I travel on the line to work (can’t believe 49 year old Bakerloo trains are still running btw). But for the Overground there are now technically 3 train types - Class 378s, Class 710/2s and 710/3s. Why so many for one line...

I'll admit that is true, as the Piccadilly is essentially the airport and tourist line, and there are many alternative lines at the stations the Bakerloo line serves, but I do wonder how much longer we'll have to put up with the 72 stock.
As a regular traveller on the Tube, I must say I'm quite surprised the Piccadilly Line trains will be the first to be replaced, when personally I think the Bakerloo should've been first. The Bakerloo and Piccadilly trains are pretty much the same age, yet the Bakerloo feels so much older in...
